Frequently Asked Questions

It depends, our recommendation for street vehicles rarely driven on tracks should be changed every 3,500 to 5,500 miles or every other motor oil change. Racecars may need more or less oil changes, this is dependent on vehicle usage as well. Some general enthusiast may not know that differential oil can sometimes reach temperatures of 350F/180C at which point most oils will breakdown. Once operating temperatures reach this degree, viscosity levels will lower therefore not providing sufficient lubrication for differential operation. Do not be fooled by others suggesting oils should not be changed for 20,000 miles…like your engine, differentials produce friction and wear, provide your differential a clean and healthy operational environment.

To cancel out rumors about our limited slip differential constantly needing an overhaul, we recommend overhauls based upon vehicle usage and unit age. Keep in mind that clutch type differential’s will produce friction wear, it is crucial that a properly functional unit is at hand in order to provide exceptional performance when compared to a poorly maintenance or worn-out unit. From our years of experience every vehicle varies, whether it be for track racing or street driving. The best way to determine if your vehicle needs an overhaul is to check with a technician or do simple test to see if your unit is functioning properly. There is speculation that our units often need overhauling however, in actuality within the past 10+ years of selling thousands of KAAZ Limited Slip Differentials in Northern America alone, our selling rate of overhaul kits are very minimal when compared to our overall unit sales rates. It is best that you contact a local technician or send your unit to KAAZ USA for inspection if you feel your L.S.D. is in need of an overhaul.

Many clutch type differentials do produce chattering noises. This should only occur during low speed turns or at the initial point of engagement. You may feel or hear more chattering in front wheel drive platforms due to the differential being located at the front of the vehicle. SuperQ units are designed to be virtually noiseless when compared to most differentials on the market, if you are concerned about chattering then this unit is suggested for you.

The SuperQ unit is an exclusive KAAZ USA product. Basically the next step was taken to improving a great product, our SuperQ line features superior surface treatment technology to allow extremely smooth operational usage with the least amount of chattering noise.

On most of our front wheel drive Honda Limited Slip Differentials we provide with the unit our genuine speedo gear replacement.

You must replace your OEM speedo gear with a KAAZ unit, this may be a reason in which your speedometer does not work properly

Many assume limited slip differentials are all the same, however we’d like to point out some differences which separate each unit apart. A clutch type differential is beneficial to road racing due to liner/faster lockup with more predictability. On Torque Biasing units when one wheel lifts, there comes a reaction where the differential now carries a open differential character due to power only being transfered to one wheel, however when the lifted wheel makes contact there is a time frame in which progressive build-up is needed in order to transfer full power. This can be a downfall for road racing or rally racing since the vehicle is more than likely subject to wheel lift. The KAAZ LSD actually provides power even during one-wheel-contacts.

Only non-SuperQ LSD’s must be broken-in to seat the clutch plates. Applying too much torque when the unit is new will cause damage to the clutch plates and may result in plates forming an angle fit. Once these plates form an angle fit, the LSD is unable to function at 100% efficiency. This will also result in more chattering noise under low speed turns. It is very IMPORTANT to perform the break-in procedure as described below. A video will be added shortly to explain this procedure.
